Huge thanks to everyone who came out for our Windy City cycling ride planning meeting and social. It was an awesome mix of longtime members and new, club-curious faces, and the energy was exactly what we’re all about.

Great conversations, big plans for the 2026 season, and plenty of rides to look forward to. Add in great pizza, cold Begyle beers, and some unseasonably perfect weather, and it really couldn’t have been better.

If you missed it, don’t worry, there’s a lot more to come. Let’s make 2026 our best season yet.

This isn’t a planning meeting—it’s a “where to next?” celebration. If you’re curious about joining our group, this is the perfect low-pressure way to meet the people leading the pack.

Whether you’re a longtime WCCC member or just club-curious and wondering what we’re all about, this is the perfect chance to connect, hang out, and meet some great people who love bikes and good company.

What’s on tap:
• Meet the Leaders: Put a face to the name of our ride captains.
• The 2026 Reveal: We’ll be sharing the details on our upcoming schedule, from casual coffee crawls to sunset sprints.
• Pro-Tips: Chat with seasoned members about their favorite Chicago shortcuts and gear must-haves.

Feel free to invite friends who might be interested, and swing by for as long (or as short) as you’d like. We’d love to see you there!
Questions? Drop us a note—we’re happy to help.

Hope to see you soon! 🚲✨

✨ WCCC Year-End Celebration! ✨

Now we’re looking ahead and getting excited to plan an amazing 2026 season!

Cheers to the WCCC family — thanks for an amazing year!

🚴‍♂️ Looking for a bicycling-related activity as the weather cools off?

Check out the PBS special From Rails to Trails — narrated by Edward Norton.

This inspiring documentary tells the story of one of the most unlikely social movements in American history: the fight to transform thousands of miles of abandoned railroads into trails for cycling and walking.

Facing fierce opposition and legal challenges from private property owners, passionate advocates reclaimed these forgotten corridors for the public — creating today’s national network of scenic, car-free trails. 🌳🚲

The story of a 60-year struggle to convert abandoned railroads into trails for cycling and walking.

Perfect day for a ride to Fort Sheridan! ☀️
Still feels like summer out there — small group, strong riders, and plenty of sunshine to go around. 🌞🚴‍♂️💪

What a great evening at Dovetail Brewing 🍻 celebrating the end of summer (but definitely not the end of riding!). Over 20 WCCC members came out to catch up, and the conversations were so good we only snapped one photo—of the last five standing. Cheers to more rides, more laughs, and more toasts ahead! 🚴‍♂️✨

🌞🚴‍♂️ Sunday sunshine, coffee time 🚴‍♀️🌞
A great mix of longtime WCCC members and a few new riders joined today’s spin up to Highland Park. Nothing beats coffee and muffins in the sun after a strong ride!

The weather was perfect, the company even better — exactly how Sunday rides should be. 💙
